James Schneider, a gay, Jewish man running for City Countil in Cape Coral, Florida, says the KKK has threatened his life in a hateful message left at his home a week ago.

The note says, “We know where you live, faggot,” which is the kind of veiled threat cowardly stalkers use in order to avoid out-and-out stating their intentions.

Police have not yet classified it as a hate crime. Welcome to Florida. Keep reading for this and more hot links of the day, including: Will Trump bomb North Korea? and Madonna's move out of the country ...

Via Crime Watch Daily: Police in New Orleans have released surveillance video in the murder case of trans woman Ciara McElveen, who was stabbed multiple times on February 27, dying later at a hospital.

The newly released video, above, shows a glimpse of a man police are IDing as a person of interest in the case.

Call Det. Joseph Jefferson at (504) 658-5300 with any info you may have.

McElveen's murder was the second murder of a trans woman in New Orleans in a 48-hour period.

Mike Yenni, the Jefferson Parish President who was caught sexting with a teenage boy, has sat for an interview with FOX8 in which he blankly claims he has no idea why he texted with the guy and also denies being gay.

Yenni admits only that he “sent inappropriate text messages,” and he keeps stressing that no sex happened.

He won't even answer whether he actually bought the guy underwear, going around and around in circles. Lying through his teeth as he goes.

Fave part: He calls the reporting of his actions a form of “gay-bashing.” But is not gay.
